qcommit forces a commit message

[Stefan Wieser]

Committing with Tortoise Bazaar 0.6.6 forces the user to enter a commit message, which is not even required by Bazaar itself (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/172506). It seems to be reasonable to bring the behaviour of Tortoise Bazaar in line with Bazaar, so both tools behave identically.

Furthermore, the error message is poorly worded. It reads "You should provide a commit message." when entering a commit message is an outright requirement. The correct wording would be "Bazaar requires that you enter a commit message." - which is outdated, however, since Bazaar no longer does.

I don't know when bzr changed its behavior re empty commit message. We can change that behavior in qcommit dialog however.
If somebody wants to provide a patch I can give a hint: qbzr/lib/commit.py method validate does that check. Method do_start creates command line for bzr commit. There should be created some hack to create `bzr commit -m ""` command-line, perhaps additional change to qbzr\lib\subprocess.py is required.
Patches are welcome!

Probably the best way is to create command-line as `bzr commit --message=` that does the trick. Then no changes to qbzr\lib\subprocess.py will be required.
